Pixel Studio comes free on your Google Pixel 9 smartphone. You can use it to generate images from prompts, which are natural language descriptions of what you want to see, you're therefore limited mainly by your imagination, and the restrictions of the software, which currently include no images involving humans. Once you learn how to use it, and where all the features are hidden, Pixel Studio becomes an incredibly powerful tool for everything from just having a laugh with your friends by making funny images to making beautiful works of art.

When you open Pixel Studio you are given a selection of example images that have already been created using the tool. Tap on the text under each one to see what prompt created the image – this can be really useful when trying to learn how to word your prompts. Along the top of the interface you can see categories, like Machines, Animals, and Abstract Art - tap these to see different examples.

If you want to go straight to generating an AI image from a prompt then tap on the Create button at the bottom of the screen. Now type in some text describing what you want to see. For the best results be specific.

If you’ve always wanted to see a dog on a skateboard jumping over the Grand Canyon, then now is the perfect time. Don’t like what you see? Simply tap the refresh icon at the bottom to make Pixel Studio think again. Next to that is the style suggestion button - you can change the style to anything from 3D Cartoon to Sketch or Anime.
